10/13

Oct 13, 2025 — Comic #341

A Coastie in a “Coast Hard or Go Home” shirt films himself: “This is the video the Navy doesn’t want you to see. I’m going to expose their conspiracy right here! They’re going to tell you they’ve been around since October 13th, 1775, but that’s a lie! There was no Navy after the Revolution! They didn’t even claim 1775 as their founding year until 1972!” Outside his door, coworkers listen as he shouts, “Wake up, sea-ple!” One says, “He’s making another one of his ‘10/13 Truther’ videos.” The other says, “Let him finish.”

It’s clear a Navy was founded in 1775, but there’s no proof it was the same one we have now

This is the video the Navy doesn’t want you to see / I’m going to expose their conspiracy right here! / They’re going to tell you they’ve been around since October 13th, 1775 / But that’s a lie / There was no Navy after the Revolution! They didn’t even claim 1775 as their founding year until 1972! / So why the lies? Who benefits? It’s all so the Navy can take credit for what the Coast Guard did when the Navy didn’t even exist! / Wake up, sea-ple! Wake up, sea-ple! / He’s making another one of his “10/13 Truther” videos / Let him finish / [shirt: Coast Hard or Go Home]
